When Fen Xing left Tu Bujie's side, the halo gradually dissipated, and after a while, it returned to its original darkness.
Duan Baiyue held it in the palm of his hand, lying on the bed alone in a trance, staring at the top of the bed without sleep. In the second half of the night, he simply walked out of the inn, intending to go outside to relax, but unknowingly he arrived at the gate of the palace.
He is still familiar with the way, and there are still not many guards of the Imperial Forest Army.
Hearing the footsteps, Chu Yuan opened his eyes, but did not make a sound.
"Know it's me?" Duan Baiyue sat beside the bed.
Chu Yuan looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"Nothing happened, I just can't sleep." Duan Baiyue said.
Chu Yuan smiled: "So you are here to disturb other people's sleep?"
Duan Baiyue said: "I brought wine."
Chu Yuan sat up from the bed: "What wine?"
"Cloud light." Duan Baiyue said, "It's a bit intense."
"I made it myself?" Chu Yuan stretched out his hand.
Duan Baiyue unscrewed the small wine bag and handed it over.
Chu Yuan took a sip and frowned: "This kind of wine, drinking too much will hurt your health."
"So I only brought these." Duan Baiyue said, "If you have trouble sleeping, you can use this to relieve your worries."
Chu Yuan shook his head: "You are not allowed to drink, and you are not allowed to drink in the future."
"It's okay." Duan Baiyue didn't force it, and he didn't want to drink.
"Tell me, there must be something wrong." Chu Yuan put the wine bag aside, "What's wrong?"
"Tonight, Fen Xing is shining again." Duan Baiyue hesitated.
Chu Yuan was surprised: "Why? Does it recognize you?"
"..." Duan Baiyue was really reluctant to mention Tu Bujie.
Chu Yuan frowned: "Not good?"
"It's not bad, it's just uncomfortable." Duan Baiyue had a headache and explained the matter in general.
Chu Yuan: "..."
Duan Baiyue said: "I will find out the reason."
"Could it be because my relatives and I have been in contact with people from Chaoya?" Chu Yuan thought about it.
Duan Baiyue immediately denied: "He is not my relative."
Chu Yuan punched him in the chest: "Listen to the second half of the sentence!"
Duan Baiyue nodded: "It's possible." Thinking of this, he felt a lot more relaxed.
"In this way, the people who Saipanan said that day can make the burning star shine have already died on the tide cliff, so it can be justified." Chu Yuan said, "By the way, there is one more thing. People went to investigate and found that the prefect of Cangnan Prefecture is Yu Shu, who has risen step by step from county magistrate. Although his political achievements are not outstanding, they are not too bad, but nothing can be seen from the records."
"Yu Shu." Duan Baiyue said, "Okay, I will check."
Chu Yuan leaned back on the bed: "Now that you are completely awake, what else do you want to talk about?"
Duan Baiyue asked, "Aren't you angry when you were disturbed to sleep?"
"It's not a baby." Chu Yuan laughed.
"Is that so." Duan Baiyue leaned on his side, "Do you do something for adults?"
Chu Yuan lay on the bed and said lazily, "Four—"
Duan Baiyue said: "Hi."
Chu Yuan stuffed his head under the quilt and laughed.
Duan Baiyue patted him and laughed along, just looking at him, but there was no reason in his heart.
"Sixi has gone to rest. Next time, someone else will be guarding at the door." After Chu Yuan finished laughing, his face was a little red, "I am specially responsible for punishing you to go to the cold palace."
"I won't go to the cold palace, I will accompany you here." Duan Baiyue looked at him, "If I go back to the southwest, I don't know when I can meet."
Chu Yuan's expression stiffened.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about this." Duan Baiyue lay beside him, "Go to sleep, I'll accompany you."
Chu Yuan asked in a low voice, "When will you return to the southwest?"
Duan Baiyue said: "At least we need to clarify the relationship between Chaoya and Fen Xing, as well as Jade Coffin Mountain and Lan Yizhan. Since Sai Panan has set up the Burning Star Bureau to attract him, it means that this person is related to Fen Xing. The stars are also involved."
"How long will it take?" Chu Yuan asked again.
"It's hard to say." Duan Baiyue held his hand and put it to his lips, "It's three or five months faster, three or five years later, and then three or five years later, and then the King of Southwest China won't do it. I'll take you on a horseback ride to see flowers and make up for the pleasures of these decades."
Chu Yuan's eyes suddenly became hot, and he concealed a smile and said, "In thirty or fifty years, I will be an old man."
"So what?" Duan Baiyue said, "You are also old, and we don't despise each other."
Chu Yuan slapped him away, wanted to turn around but was pulled, and then slammed into his arms.
…
The hall was very quiet, and neither of the two spoke.
Feeling a little wet on his chest, Duan Baiyue hugged him tighter.
There was a thunderstorm outside the house, the candles were blown out by the wind, and in the darkness, it seemed that they could hear each other's heartbeats.
Duan Baiyue knows that what she wants is not only these, but she also knows that if she does more, she will be more reluctant to leave in the future.
After all, two people with such identities, even if they have the same mind and support each other, want to say that they are together for a long time, it is really a bit extravagant.
I don't know how long it took, the breathing of the person in his arms finally became longer.
Duan Baiyue covered the quilt for him, and then hugged the person into his arms again.
Lips brushed lightly.
One pretends to be unintentional.
One pretended not to wake up.
Three days later, Duan Baiyue and Duan Yao set off for Cangnan Prefecture.
Nan Moxie also took Tu Bujie and went to Jade Coffin Mountain to see what happened.
Cangnan Prefecture is most famous for its peony, peony, and beauty. Duan Yao was very happy as soon as he entered the city, and was thinking about where to go in the evening.
Duan Baiyue ordered a large table of dishes in the restaurant, and asked for a basket of buns filled with bean paste, and deliberately spent double the silver to make them into the shape of a toad.
The cook stood in front of the chopping board, recalling that the frogs in the field were squeezed as much as possible. By the way, he felt that it was getting harder and harder to serve customers these days. Last time, the main focus of the Chasing Palace was to pinch rabbits, and there were still people who wanted to pinch toads.
Also loves quirks.
"Good, look, your favorite shape." Duan Baiyue handed him the hot steamed bun.
Duan Yao said vigilantly, "What else are you going to steal?"
Duan Baiyue said: "People."
Duan Yao said angrily, "You asked me to steal people?"
The voice was a bit loud, and it attracted the surrounding tables to look over, and they all tsk tsk the world is getting worse, and things like stealing men have to be brought up.
…
"Look at you!" Duan Yao angrily kicked under the table.
"Seriously." Duan Baiyue said, "Do you know Jing Liutian from Feiluan Tower?"
"How could I know each other." Duan Yao took a bite of the bun.
The King of Southwest was slightly distressed.
Because he doesn't know it either.
As for why I said knowing before... it depends on who is asking. The beloved person asks for each other, not to mention Jing Liutian, even if it is King Yama, he must know him.
"You don't need to steal the man if you want to know the owner of Feiluan, right?" Duan Yao said, "If you send a greeting card to show your identity, you are afraid that you won't be able to thank you behind closed doors."
"Feiluan Building only opens its doors every three months and receives ten orders. The last time it opened was a month ago." Duan Baiyue said, "After so many years, no one has broken the rules."
"It's so crazy." Duan Yao frowned, and then complained, "Since you don't know people, why don't you find someone to lead a line before you come back." It's such a hot day, and if it's a waste of time, it won't be a loss.
Duan Baiyue said: "Shut up."
Duan Yao: "..."
Duan Baiyue said again: "Go to Feiluan Tower tonight and see if anyone is there."
Duan Yao took the opportunity to attack: "It is estimated that he is not there."
Duan Baiyue slapped it over.
Aunt Jin couldn't even look at it, and no one scolds her.
…
After eating a large table of dishes, Duan Yao sat on the window and looked down with contentment, but wondered: "What are these people going to do?"
Duan Baiyue glanced at it and saw that the people were running in one direction, so he casually said: "There is a peony meeting recently."
"Blossom viewing is better than lantern viewing. Who would choose a big night." Duan Yao said, "Besides, it doesn't seem like a good thing to see the big guy's expression."
Duan Baiyue frowned slightly.
Facts have proved that it is indeed not a good thing.
Because Yu Shu, the prefect of Cangnan Prefecture, was discovered an hour ago and died in the study of the government office.
Duan Yao sighed: "It seems that someone has robbed us."
"Go." Duan Baiyue picked up the saber, "Go and see what's going on first."
The government office had been surrounded by officers and soldiers for a long time, and the surrounding people circled around, all inquiring about the origin of the matter. Duan Baiyue and Duan Yao jumped into the mansion from the backyard. There were a lot of people inside, except for Yu Shu's family and children, as well as officers and soldiers and Zuzuo, who were noisy and could not see any clues.
"Come back tonight." Duan Yao said.
Duan Baiyue nodded, went out of the palace with him, walked three streets, Duan Yao frowned: "Is someone following?"
"It took a while to find out?" Duan Baiyue smiled, "I was targeted in the government office, but it's okay."
Duan Yao turned around suddenly.
A man in white with a folding fan in his hand did not hide, but looked at the two of them coldly.
"The white robe jade fan, I think it's the owner of Feiluan." Duan Baiyue said, "I'm sorry."
"Who is your Excellency?" Jing Liutian asked.
Duan Baiyue said: "People from the Southwest House."
"Southwest Mansion, Prince Duan?" Jing Liutian frowned, seeing that the person in front of him had a similar bearing, but the sword in his hand was too ordinary, and it was far from the rumored cloud-splitting knife.
Duan Baiyue said: "To be honest, this king is here to visit the master of Jing, but I didn't expect to meet him here."
Jing Liutian asked, "Could Yu Shu's death be related to the prince?"
Duan Baiyue shook his head.
Jing Liutian reminded: "If it really doesn't matter, then I would like to invite the lord to go to Feiluan Tower for a drink. But if it is related, Yu Shu is my guest, and the guest was killed for no reason. I will definitely find out the truth."
Duan Baiyue said: "This king is more reluctant to see Yu Shu die than the owner of the scene, because there is still something to be found out."
Jing Liutian asked, "What's the matter?"
Duan Baiyue replied: "That group of people in black robes."
Jing Liutian shook his head: "I'm too greedy, I'm afraid I'll go astray."
Duan Baiyue said with a smile: "Lord Jing seems to know a lot of things. This king seems to have found the right person this time."
Jing Liutian said: "Your Highness misunderstood, I just wish to invite Your Highness for a drink. If you want to do business, please come back in two months."
"The landlord also said that he wanted to find out about Yu Shu's murder." Duan Baiyue raised his eyebrows, "It happens that half of my trip is for Yu Shu, why can't we cooperate?"
"Why did Yu Shu provoke the King of Southwest China?" Jing Liutian asked.
Duan Baiyue is very frank: "He didn't offend me, but he offended the person I love."
Duan Yao thought to herself, Oh, General Shen.
